The Cincinnati Kid is a fantastic movie.
I’ll go with Cool Hand Luke:
Dragline: Nothin’. A handful of nothin’. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin’. Just like today when he kept comin’ back at me - with nothin’.
Luke: Yeah, well, sometimes nothin’ can be a real cool hand.

Almost anything from Rounders:
“You were lookin’ for that third three, but you forgot that Professor Green folded on Fourth Street and now you’re representing that you have it. The DA made his two pair, but he knows they’re no good. Judge Kaplan was trying to squeeze out a diamond flush but he came up short and Mr. Eisen is futilely hoping that his queens are going to stand up. So like I said, the Dean’s bet is $20. “

In Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid:
Gambler: Well, looks like you just about cleaned everybody out, fella. You haven’t lost a hand since you got to deal. What’s the secret of your success?
Sundance Kid: Prayer.
Gambler: You’re a helluva card player fella. I know, cause I’m a helluva card player. And I can’t even spot how you’re cheating.
Butch: We seem to be a little short on brotherly love around here.
Gunman: If you’re with him, you’d better get yourselves out of here.
Butch: We’re on our way. Come on.
Sundance: I wasn’t cheating.
Butch: Come on!
Sundance: (louder) I wasn’t cheating.
Gunman: You can die. For that matter, you can both die.
Butch: You hear that?
Sundance: If he invites us to stay, then we’ll go…He’s got to invite us to stick around.
Butch: He’ll draw on ya. He’s ready. You don’t know how fast he is. I’m over the hill, but it can happen to you.
Sundance: That’s just what I want to hear.
Butch: Every day you get older. Now that’s a law!
(To the gunman) What would you think about maybe asking us to stick around?
Gunman: What?
Butch: You don’t have to mean it or anything. Just ask us to stick around. I promise you…(The gunman refuses to listen and pushes Butch away) I can’t help you, Sundance.
Gunman: I didn’t know you were the Sundance Kid when I said you were cheating. If I draw on you, you’ll kill me.
Sundance: There’s that possibility.
Rounders:
Worm: I guess the sayings’ true. In the poker game of life, women are the rake man. They are the fuckin’ rake.
Mike McDermott: What the fuck are you talkin’ about. What saying?
Worm: I-I don’t know. There ought to be one though.
The Gambler with Kenny Rogers had plenty of them, but it’s been so long since I’ve seen it I can’t rememebr. In the sequel in 1987, there were plenty too. In fact, on the last seen, he wins the tournament with four 2s playing 5 card stud. He had a great line, but that was 20 years ago that I saw it.
